How to find your first client as an SEO specialist? Example of a successful resume

Where to look

Most clients can be found through specialized groups and forums. There are groups where vacancies and service offers are posted, for example, on social networks. It is recommended to post your resume in such groups. Some groups offer free posting, while others charge a fee. You can start with free groups where there is already a certain response. You can also contact members of these groups directly if they are looking for SEO specialists.

An important element is to have a detailed and attractive resume that will be informative and attract attention.

What questions to answer in your resume:

  • Name of your profession (SEO specialist)
  • Work format (remotely or office)
  • Employment (project work, permanent work in an agency or in-house, full time)
  • Your contacts
  • Work experience (how many years, where did you work)
  • Achievements (for example, increased website traffic by 50% in 2 months)
  • Knowledge of software and services (Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog)
  • Advanced training (for example, took a course in SEO)
  • Portfolio (link to portfolio)
  • What I can do (for example, proficiency in analytics tools, technical audits, working with links)
  • Desired type of work (SEO audits, semantics collection, SEO strategy, etc.)
  • Desired payment (for example, from 60,000 rubles for full-time)
  • Contact information

What do clients need?

  • Availability of the results of your work.
  • Confidence in your professionalism - the client must know that you can work effectively with their website.
  • Awareness of current changes on the site - what improvements were implemented, how this affected the result.
  • Willingness to help the client determine his goals if he himself does not know what he needs.
  • Quick response to questions and problems, for example, a drop in positions.
  • Reasoned explanation of the need for certain improvements.
  • Complete tasks on time and meet deadlines.

What to do

  • Conduct a site audit, identify errors and areas of growth, and draw up a work plan for the next 3-6 months.
  • Follow this plan in the future.
  • Make an estimate - indicate the labor costs and cost of each stage of the work.
  • Assess how much traffic or positions can increase as a result of the work carried out and in what time frame.
  • Agree with the client on the timing of preparation of technical specifications (TOR) and the format of communication (for example, through Telegram or other tools). Set how long it will take for the client to receive responses.
  • Report monthly to the client on the results of improvements, the plan for the next month, completed tasks, and also summarize the results of the past month.
